[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

The issue is not about failing a class.  To me, it's about my children doing a good job at their "job" (i.e. student).  And by "good job" I mean completing all work and turning it in (no missing assignments) + no accepting D's or F's on things that can be retaken.

As a parent, do you let your child have all the privileges (whatever those are -- screen time, social outings, etc. etc.) if your child is NOT doing all of their work at school.

If you don't do anything about missing/failing school work, do you think your children are learning that they can get by with so-so effort while they enjoy lots of fun time at home or elsewhere?[/quote]

If your kids are getting Bs by not turning in an assignment than maybe you should help them get organized.  We have always told our kids that it is important to hand in your assignments on time.  At a certain age you can certainly take away privileges but, at a certain age ( once you have given them the tools) it is up to them to do the work.  We all know people who don't perform unless they have someone hanging over them.  Don't we want our kids to learn how to manage time on their own?[/quote]
